I did a bisect yesterday on this, and the results
seemed to have worked over here by reverting:

cfg80211: lower dynamic PS timeout to 100ms

if Kristoffer can try reverting this one
to see, then we can go from there.

So that just means the driver is broken. Please run

iwconfig wlan0 power off

to fix it then. And the patch below will disable it by default since
it's broken.

I'm in the process of stepping out
of my office for a few days.
(can probably give a try where I'm
headed, just give me some time).
